Important information

Introduction

This handbook contains an explanation of how to install, connect and

maintain your Digital Radome scanner and covers the following models:

• RD418D - 18” 4 kW Digital Radome scanner.

• RD424D - 24” 4 kW Digital Radome scanner.

Your radar has been designed and manufactured to meet the rigorous

demands of the marine environment. However, no machine can perform its

intended function unless installed, operated and maintained properly.

Please carefully read and follow the recommended procedures for installa-

tion contained in this handbook.

When properly installed and operated, the use of this radar conforms to:

• IEEE C95.1 - 2005 - Standard for Safety Levels with respect to Human

Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300GHz.

• ICNIRP Guidelines 1998 - International Commission on Non-Ionising

Radiation Protection: Guidelines for limiting exposure to time-varying

electric, magnetic and electro-magnetic fields (up to 300GHz) 1998.

Intended use

This product is a radar scanner intended for use within a navigational radar

system. The intended application is for leisure marine boats and work

boats not covered by IMO/SOLAS carriage requirements.

Installation and operation of this radar may be subject to individual

licensing of the equipment, operator or vessel. You are strongly advised to

check with the requirements of the licensing authority of your national

administration. In case of difficulty, contact your local Raymarine dealer.

Safety notices

WARNING

Radio Frequency Radiation Hazard

The radar antenna emits electromagnetic energy at micro-

wave radio frequencies which can be harmful, particularly to

your eyes. DO NOT look at the antenna at close range.

It is important that the radar is turned off whenever personnel

are required to come close to the scanner assembly. It is

recommended that the radar scanner is mounted out of range

of personnel (above head height).

The maximum power density level which is considered safe for

general public exposure is 10 W/m2, and for occupational expo-

sure it is 100 W/m2. The distances from the radar scanner

within which these levels may be exceeded are given below:

Model Distance to 100 W/m2

point

Distance to 10 W/m2

RD418D Max power density at any

distance is <100 W/m21.0m (worst case)

RD424D Max power density at any

distance is <100 W/m2

1.0m (worst case)

nical Services for information on product disposal.

EMC conformance

All Raymarine equipment and accessories are designed to the best industry

standards for use in the recreational marine environment. The design and

manufacture of Raymarine equipment and accessories conform to the

appropriate Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standards, but correct

installation is required to ensure that performance is not compromised.

Declaration of conformity

Raymarine UK Limited hereby declare that the products to which this

manual relates comply with the appropriate requirements and provisions of

the R&TTE Directive 1999/5/EC.

The full Declaration of Conformity may be viewed on the relevant product

pages at www.raymarine.com

WARNING

High Voltage

The scanner unit contains high voltages. Adjustments

require specialized service procedures and tools only avail-

able to qualified service technicians - there are no user

serviceable parts or adjustments. The operator should

never remove the scanner unit internal covers or attempt

to service the equipment.

WARNING

Product installation

This equipment must be installed in accordance with the

instructions contained in this handbook. Failure to do so

could result in poor product performance, personal injury

and/or damage to your boat.

Important information 3

Multi-function display software version

The Digital Radome scanner can be connected directly to a C-Series or

E-Series display, or to a C-Series, E-Series or G-Series display via a

SeaTalkhs switch.

The Digital Radome scanner is compatible with the following multi-func-

tion displays:

• C90W, C120W, and C140W C-Series displays.

• E80, E120 E-Series displays.

• G120, G150, G170, and G190 G-Series displays.

For operation of your scanner, the multi-function display unit requires the

latest software version.

After installing your scanner, download the latest software for your multi-

function display from the Raymarine website (www.raymarine.com).

To find out whether your display is using the latest software version, switch

on the display and check the version number on the navigation warning

screen. However, if a scanner is not connected to the multi-function

display, the version number will only be displayed for 10 seconds.

For information on how to update your multi-function display software,

please refer to the instructions on the Raymarine website, or contact

Raymarine technical support.

Warranty

To register your new Raymarine product, please take a few minutes to fill

out the warranty card. It is important that you complete the owner infor-

mation and return the card to receive full warranty benefits. Alternatively

you can register your product on line at www.raymarine.com

Installation

EMC installation guidelines

All Raymarine equipment and accessories are designed to the best industry

standards for use in the recreational marine environment.

Their design and manufacture conforms to the appropriate Electromagnetic

Compatibility (EMC) standards, but correct installation is required to

ensure that performance is not compromised. Although every effort has

been taken to ensure that they will perform under all conditions, it is

important to understand what facts could affect the operation of the

product.

The guidelines here describe the conditions for optimum EMC performance,

but it is recognized that it may not be possible to meet all of these condi-

tions in all situations. To ensure the best possible conditions for EMC

performance within the constraints imposed by any location, always ensure

the maximum separation possible between different items of electrical

equipment.

For optimum EMC performance, it is recommended wherever possible:

• Raymarine equipment and cables connected to it are:

• At least 3 ft. (1m) from any other equipment transmitting or

carrying radio signals. In the case of Single Side Band (SSB) radio,

the distance should be increased to 7 ft. (2m).

• More than 7 ft. (2m) from the path of a radar beam. A radar beam

can normally be assumed to spread 20 degrees above and below

the radiating element.

• The equipment is supplied from a separate battery to that used for

engine start. Voltage drops below 10.8 V, and starter motor transients,

can cause the equipment to reset. This will not damage the equipment,

but may cause the loss of some information and may change the oper-

ating mode.

• Only Raymarine-specified cables must be used. Cutting and rejoining

these cables can compromise EMC performance.
